Re: Goeber and Cindy

Gag-a-day comics have to be very good to interest me, and this isn't tickling my interest at all. The jokes seem rather simplistic. Nix that, VERY simplistic. Goeber is hungry/fat/lazy! Afraid of spiders! Avatar cosplay! It's pretty much the punchline with practically no set up at all for it. I've personally always found the key to humor is surprise (while still making sense of course), and a punchline by itself is not funny.

Artistically, it's very boring. I really don't like cut-n-paste art, as it's visually lazy, and very obvious what you did. Essentially you have the same characters in the same poses, from the same angle with very minimal changes. It's "Talking head syndrome" at its worst.

Re: Goeber and Cindy

Heh. It's really cute. Simplistic writing, simplistic art, and it goes well together. It made me smile a few times :-)
The jokes sometimes don't work for me, but then again - I have the sneaking suspicion that I'd "get" them if I had children myself.

To be honest, I'm not really into gag-a-day comics unless they're really, really special, so I'm not gonna bookmark this.

But it was a nice read. A stroll down childhood lane always leaves you with this warm feeling

Re: Goeber and Cindy

For everyone that says the writing is simplistic, who says it has to be anything more than that? For what this comic delivers it works great. The comic is a quick read and gets the point across. For what the subject matter is the writing doesn't need to be more complicated.
